The Octonaut

Most of the foreign companies seem to be travel/tourism related. I wonder if it means that you can go on Booking.com and book a room in occupied territories, maybe these options only show up in particular markets.

This is definitely not an exhaustive list either, but I’m guessing these are the clearest cut cases.

This is the media release not the actual list.

This is the actual report with the actual list

Are you aware that more than one country exists?

Just so we’re clear, you’re proposing UBI as a solution to a global website showing ads

Oh God delete your post before the Jellyfhiles show up

Here’s the thing…

Nope. Maori deserve release from this nonsense too.

Also, lol at the very native, very traditional “koronahaiea ceremony”. What a very coincidental word for it! About as Maori as, well, half the Kiwis claiming to be Maori actually.

Hang all monarchs equally 💖

I mean these were quite literally nomadic cow-herding tribes acting independently and frequently fighting each other even across the sea so “imperial” is a bit rich.

Probably a much better comparison to the Vikings who did something similar: individual gangs raided British coastlines and then eventually began to settle there. Except the Gaels/Scotii did it during Roman times, the Vikings later.

Both are Irish. Ó means “of” or “from”, and sometimes is interpreted as a looser association with a clann (family).

Scottish is Irish. Gaelic peoples settled Western Scotland from Ireland. Literally the word “Scot” used to mean “Irish”.

Can we not do the “boys should be grateful” thing please? It’s one step away from “Niiiice” and two away from “An erection is consent”. It’s not particularly helpful yo reduce a transmasc to “a person with a vagina” either.

CS is Computer Science, Cyber Security is abbreviated as CyberSecs, Google it

LLMs are statistics, so one person doing it is primarily useful as a “don’t do this” example.

It’s not redirecting the conversation to respond to your statement that whataboutism is when the hypocrisy is “unrelated”. Which conveniently lets you decide what is related or unrelated.

Do you not consider Russians human?

You want examples of Chinese companies disregarding copyright? Uh.

www.aliexpress.com? Or, yknow, the actual article we’re commenting on?

You think I’m going to shift the goalposts for one example? Ok, yeah that definitely overrules literally decades of behaviour. You win. Here’s your Internet reward for the best argument. ⭐️

Explained is not the same as justified.

I would have thought this was obvious but forcing your rivals to abide by their own rules while flouting them yourself is not an endorsement of those rules, it’s a mockery of them.

I have no issue with people going after China. I’m not a hexbear/ml stooge. It is possible for two things to be bad. It is possible for something about a bad entity to be neutral or at least unsurprising. Which is how I would describe China’s lack of real interest in engaging with, from their perspective, the global order’s new fad interest in intellectual property rights.

And, as always, it is in the sealion’s power to determine what is the same, and what is “different but related”.

Arf arf arf

No, but this might shock you, other countries have different definitions of what theft is. Theft is taking something from someone.

The funny part being that it is literally enshrined in American law that game mechanics can’t be copyrighted, so its not even in the definition of theft in America either.
